I’ve added a couple serial numbers recently.
Added 2 B’s and a D. The D joins two other serial numbers within that class that are 100 or above. It is also now the highest serial number D.
Been updating but not posting. To date I’ve identified with the help of many, 140 still existing Quincy Loopers. The most common being 20ci and least common (other than the obvious 6’s) being 44ci.
Updated with 5 more loopers acquired out of an estate sale by a private individual. 2 A's, 2 B's, and 1 D. Other than F engines, 40ci D engines are still the least common survivors.
Added a couple motors.
Thanks a lot. If you see this, can you clear message space? I can’t message you. Or email me at Brandon.juby@gmail.com. Thanks!
Thanks for the new serial number and a great story.
Just added 7 more Loopers to the list.
I don't know what happened to the website. Maybe I missed a posting, but this thread is no longer stickied and I had a heck of a time finding it buried. Nonetheless. I have added some new serial...
Gene I have been very busy over the last several months and haven't been roaming on any of the forums. My condolences to you and your family.
I added 2 B loopers, 1 C looper, and 1 44ci looper to the list.
This sounds extremely interesting and can't wait for the writeup. "Good hunting".
First start since the rebuild. Finally found the time. Had some issues after I let it sit for a minute while I got the gasoline together in order to flush it. The entire bottom cylinder filled up...

This post is really buried and I saw some photos in here that when I first saw them did not mean as much to me (and therefore didn't pay as close attention to them at the time) as they do now being a...
JW wanted me to update everyone about the Kilo's today. Unfortunately they were blown out. He says they will hopefully get a chance tomorrow. More info to follow tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
Gene, you're right it is bigger than a Grant gas tank. Could be 3 gallons?
I need to blast and clean the tower. Too deep to run on the runabout, but looks good nonetheless.

FC-71 is back home. Going to get the exhaust gaskets finished and hang the exhaust and ignition this weekend.

Can't wait to see the speed difference between this and the green DeSilva. Nice that you have a solid baseline. When is it again? April 1st weekend?
Here is one of the two rods that had the bolt caps rounded to accept the non-straight cut spots for the normal bolt heads. The other 2 rods in the 44 are the regular 600-4 rods.

Got another 44ci looper in pretty rough shape. Probably the roughest looper we have had so far. Will need two sleeves one of which you can see one has a chunk out of the edge of the sleeve and the...
Sorry I did not see your edit. I used the Mark 25 crank with the babbitt bearing. I don't remember it being brass, I think the split babbitt bearings are steel? For the amount I run them, it...
You should make a separate post showing these restorations. If you're going to run them I would suggest using Mark 25 cranks in both of your "B" motors. I have a Mark 25 crank in all of my 2...
Wow, that has the Waldman tower adapter. Would love to have one of those considering I run my loopers. Maybe there are more out there.
Are these engines already in my Quincy Looper serial number thread? If not could you PM them to me or comment in the thread so I can add them?
Thanks and they look great!

Wayne thanks for the great idea. I will change the title of the first post (as I did now) each time there are numbers updated. I have also typed a total count of each type that I will also update...
Wayne thanks for the new looper engines recently discovered. I have been updating the list on the front first page. I do that, rather than redoing the list every time because those posts will get...
FC-71
Steve is about finished with this overbored "C" Looper. It measures in at approximately 31.3ci and came from the Quincy shop that way. Had to give it a new crank, rods have been weighed...
You told me they were modular in an email. Each cylinder was it's own. Was it possible to build a 3 cylinder 60ci? based on 3 20ci? Or am I not understanding right? Could the 3 cylinder 30ci...
Did Quincy make anything bigger like a 700cc? Or did they not get into D&F Alky once the loopers were done.
Poor video quality, but you get the idea.

This past September. The boat is a little small for the boat and it was rough. Got a decent pull at the end. Left the extra stuff in to show my giddiness. Also pardon my French :p I was very...
My father and I had an amazing time, while we couldn't keep her fired in the water, meeting all the racers was well worth it. Count us in for the next one!
I think just making one more post entitled "Depue Reunion 2016 Forms and Info", having the documents and all information in one post at the top and have it locked. It doesn't have to be linked to...
I think a moderator should make a sub-forum post just for the form and information, that is LOCKED, and cannot be written in. Just there to see the info. People may be unable to find it by...
Dad and mother sent their form via mail today. I just emailed Dale payment via PayPal and the completed form. Thanks.
How does the pin with the needle bearing that connects the two rods stay in its hole?
Getting some progress on the 44. I had to machine and adapt my existing steel tower and adapter plate to fit this engine. Long story, but the bearing carrier position and therefore bolts are...
So, Steve is working on FC-71 next. This is probably the "easiest" engine I have sent him as it is doesn't have any major issues with it. He soaked it and unbuttoned it and took a look. It appears...
Dick, looking great. Have a question. I see you have multiple steel screen filters on the same line. Can you explain the reasoning for this?
She's home. I have a bit of work to do. Modifying the tower I am going to use, opening up the carb bolt areas on the Carter Ns to match the front crankcase bolt pattern, make some exhaust pipe...
Karen clear some private message space, your storage is full! I can't respond to your last message :)
Well the 44ci is assembled and ready for shipping back to us. Of course Steve had to get sick and was unable to send it out yesterday! :( ;)
It is no longer for sale. It was up twice on eBay.

Karen, congratulations on your new loopers. It is SO WEIRD how someone was just asking about how many of the #1 engines were known and here you come the NEXT day with FB-1! Can't wait to see the...
Is that the 66? Can you send me or post a picture of the porting on the block?
There is certainly hope that some of the other number 1s could exist. I add one more engine every other month or so. I know of a couple 2 cylinders and a 40ci, but the guy never gets back to me...
According to the Quincy Looper serial number list I have put together on this website there is only one serial #1 engine known to exist. It is as you said owned by J-Dub; FA-1.
There IS however...
